JUSTICE ROBIN PHUKAN ORDER Date : 24.03.2025 Heard Mr. C.K.S. Baruah, learned counsel for the applicant. Also heard Mr. M.U. Mondal, learned counsel for the opposite party No. 1(c). 2. This interlocutory application, under Section 5 of the Limitation Act, is preferred by the applicant for condoning the delay of 648 days in filing setting aside of abatement. 3. Mr. Baruah, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the application could not filed in time as the applicant came to know about the death of the respondent No. 8 only on 28.08.2023, and thereafter, he enquired and collected the names and addresses of the legal heirs of the deceased respondent No. 8 only on 31.08.2023, and that the delay is not intentional, rather it is circumstantial, and therefore, it is contended to condone the same. 4. Mr. Mondol, learned counsel for the opposite party No. 1(c) submits that he has no objection in the event of allowing this application. 5. Taking note of the submissions of learned Advocates of both sides, this Court is inclined to allow this application. Accordingly, the delay of 648 days in filing setting aside of abatement petition stands condoned. Page No.# 6/6 6. In terms of above, this I.A. stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
